Itinerary description
This is the full trail. If you like a guided tour, which is recommendable, I'd recommend a guide like "The Friendly Dodo", they speak German and English. They start from level 5 which is already a quite strenuous descent and ascent with a wonserful swim below the waterfalls.
IMPORTANT:
Just keep in mind that it is very remote there. Phone services might not function down there. So take your time, walk slow, there are a lot of stone where you can twist your ankle or foot. From time to time you will see either a green spray paint spot, or a red or yellow flag to mark the trail.
A guide is not necessary, they might run after you telling you it is forbidden. I met some guides in the valley and there nobody told me that it is forbidden, only asked if I like it so far.
If you tend to start very early, around 7am, be aware that some wild boars can be around. I once bumped into one group on the high plateau around Henrietta, luckily being far away and no young ones underneath them.
Sorry for the interruptions in the track, seems my GPS sometimes lost the signal
